I want answers!!!!
Like Anderson Cooper, I too want to know if I can't get answers now, then I want a date certain when I can get them.

Can't this administration ever do more than one thing at a time? Every time they're asked what went wrong, they say this isn't the time to look at that, that we're in the middle of recovery mode, etc. So when is the time?

What will they do if another disaster happens before they've decided it's time to figure out what went wrong? Do they think the hurricane season will just wait for them to figure it out? Or that earthquakes and volcanoes are on hold to give them time to see what needs to be fixed? Maybe the terrorists are going to just sit there and allow us a "time out" while we get our shit together?

WE ALL WANT ANSWERS!!!

4. I'm not sure he's willing to give them time.
He's being very pointed about this in every interview he does. And most of his commentary is scathing.

He's giving a lot of credit to those on the ground, but really coming down on the bureaucrats.

I want to honestly know what they are changing. How do we know that the same thing won't happen 2 weeks from now when another hurricane hits somewhere?

2. so do I!!
I liked what Anderson Cooper said the other night on Real Time. Bill Maher was interviewing him and Anderson talked about the lady who said 'now is not the time for finger pointing'. Anderson said 'ok, if now is not the time, when is the time for finger pointing? Because I'm happy to come back and ask later. Just give me a time, I'll pencil you in on my calendar!'

I especially want to know how these guys are able to keep their jobs with no accountability for anything!! I mean, they are continually screwing up and yet no one is ever reprimanded or even lectured (as far as I can tell) for screwing up the nation and the world!!!! It must be nice to live Bush's fairy tale land where people have high paying jobs, get millions in tax cuts, screw up continually and yet never have to be held accountable for anything!!!

Apparently the only pre-requisite for working in this administration is that you have to one of Bush's college buddies!!
